tvN has responded to reports that the highly anticipated Korean drama Signal 2 will premiere on December 7, making it clear that no broadcast schedule has been confirmed.
On October 25, a representative from tvN addressed speculation surrounding the release of The Second Signal, the upcoming follow-up to the popular 2016 drama Signal.
The representative briefly stated, "Nothing has been confirmed."
The statement came after Korean media outlet MyDaily reported earlier that day that Signal 2 had been scheduled to premiere on December 7 as a Monday and Tuesday drama.
However, tvN's response makes clear that the reported date should not be treated as an official announcement.
The uncertainty surrounding the drama comes amid controversy involving lead actor Jo Jin Woong, which has affected discussions about the show's broadcast plans.
Signal 2 was originally expected to air in 2026, marking the 10th anniversary of the first season.
The new installment had attracted considerable interest because it would reunite original cast members Jo Jin Woong, Kim Hye Soo, and Lee Je Hoon.
However, the production's release plans became uncertain following reports about Jo Jin Woong's past.
In December 2025, the actor faced controversy after allegations and reports emerged concerning a juvenile criminal record and other past incidents, including alleged drunk driving and assault-related offenses.
Following the controversy, Jo Jin Woong announced his retirement from acting.
In his statement at the time, he apologized to those who had supported him.
He said, "I sincerely apologize for disappointing everyone who believed in and supported me because of the unfortunate events in my past."
He also announced his decision to end his acting career, stating, "I humbly accept all the criticism and will stop all activities as of today, bringing my career as an actor to an end."
While the controversy has been linked to uncertainty over Signal 2's release, tvN has not announced a final decision regarding the drama's broadcast.
The original Signal, which aired in 2016, gained popularity for its crime thriller storyline involving detectives communicating across different timelines to investigate unresolved cases.
Its planned second season has remained highly anticipated, particularly because of the expected reunion of its original lead actors.
For now, tvN has neither confirmed the reported December 7 premiere nor announced an alternative broadcast date.
Despite the latest scheduling reports, the official position remains unchanged: the premiere date and broadcast plans for Signal 2 have not been finalized.
